I’m sure I’m not the only one who looks for cars I don’t need all the time on eCraigTraderBaylist. I can’t really afford any of them at this exact second, but it’s fun to see what I can find.

Recently I’ve started thinking about how, gas mileage be damned, it would be so cool to drive a big classic car every day. Something with presence. Sure, it’d be wallowy and not have all the amenities I’m used to, but I would get to feel so cool.

So Naturally I started checking California Craigslists. I have friends in LA and SF so those were my first two thoughts.Here’s what I came across for under $3000.

This Kaiser seems like a fantastic deal for the money and the sheer amount of stuff that’s been done to it recently. Needs...taillight lenses and a bench seat. Okay. bench seat can come from many things and I’m sure taillights can be sourced without tooooo much trouble.
